I watched 'The War You Don't See' on the weekend, and I'm still thinking about it, questioning.
As John Pilger's site says "It is a powerful and timely investigation into the media's role in war, tracing the history of 'embedded' and independent reporting from the carnage of World War One to the destruction of Hiroshima, and from the invasion of Vietnam to the current war in Afghanistan and disaster in Iraq. As weapons and propaganda become even more sophisticated, the nature of war is developing into an 'electronic battlefield' in which journalists play a key role, and civilians are the victims."
One of the best quotes was "investigative journalists are the biggest threats to a nation's security".
